WHILE TRYING TO STOP ON SLIPPERY SURFACES 3 OUT OF 5 TIMES MY ABS IS NON EXISTENT AND MY WHEELS LOCK UP I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN DECEMBER 2009. LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING ON A ICY SNOW COVERED ROAD. I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS STOPPING. I GAVE THE PEDAL MORE PRESSURE AND I STARTED TO FISHTAIL ALMOST COLLIDING WITH A PARKED VEHICLE. THE NEXT STOP SIGN I CAME TO ABS WORKED FINE. AFTER THAT MY WHEELS LOCKED UP. THIS VEHICLE IS A COMPLETE JOKE. ALSO NOTE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH GOOD SNOW TIRES. *TR
2007
SUSPENSION
I WENT IN TO GET MY OIL CHANGED AND MY TIRES ROTATED AND WAS TOLD MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HERE IS WHAT THEY PUT ON MY INVOICE (VERBATIM) "NEEDS BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HAS A REALLY BAD BALL JOINT AND LEFT OUTER TIE ROD END IS BAD ALSO PRICE TO REPLACE BOTH OUTER TIE ROD ENDS AND BOTH LOWER BALL JOINTS $1083 PLUS TAX AND THAT INCLUDES THE ALIGNMENT!!!!!!!!! VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH BALL JOINT IS THIS CONDITION!!!!!!!!!" (LITERALLY WITH ALL THE EXCLAMATION MARKS.) I TOOK THE CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GET REPAIRED (FOR HALF THE COST) HOWEVER I BELIEVE THIS IS A PART FAILURE AS I HAVE LESS THAN 50K MILES. *TR
